Paradoxes : 

- Technology helps you be closer to far away people, but in the same time it keeps us apart.

- We have good experts but we can't solve all problems.

- We have taller buildings but shorter tempers.

- We buy expensive things that we don`t need and like to impress people we don`t like.

-We have comfortable boats but they don't have a compass so they don't know where they are going.

-We clean the air, but we pollute our souls.

-We eat fast-food, but we  have slow digestion .

- We have wider freeways, but narrow viewpoints.

- We have more degrees but less ( common ) sense.

- We have more knowledge but less judgment.

- We drive too fast but we think slowly.

- We watch TV too much but we read too rarely/seldom.

- We hate too often but we love too seldom.

- Society wants you to think out of the box but the educational system makes you fit the box.

- We add years to life not life to years. :)

- We spend more but we have less.

- We have bigger houses but smaller families.

- We have more medicine but less wellness.

- We have multiplied our possessions, but we have reduced our values.
